Northlander Documentary Is Vintage Film

Awhile back I posted the first part of this documentary about the Northlander, a DC-4 rescued by a group of Inuit living in Churchill in 1955. There’s also some cool background info on Churchill in general as well as some interviews with some locals. Take a look at the footage and enjoy the story.

Churchill Summer is quickly coming and the tundra will be alive with life. beluga whales will make their way South to Churchill and inhabit the Churchill River and other rivers flowing into the Hudson Bay. keep an eye out for interesting news and previews of this most spectacular time in the Arctic. However, now, just get the popcorn and the muktuk ready and enjoy this amazing story.

Would very much like to get a copy of this documentary for our library.
I have looked for it on line but no luck. Do you know where I can purchase a copy?
Thanks,
